Talos 1.8.0-alpha.2 (2024-09-02)

Welcome to the v1.8.0-alpha.2 release of Talos!
This is a pre-release of Talos

Starting with Talos v1.8.0, only standard assets would be published as github release assets. These include:

• cloud-images.json
• talosctl binaries
• kernel
• initramfs
• metal iso and disk images
• talosctl-cni-bundle

All other release assets can be downloaded from Image Factory.

Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at
https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/issues.

Node Annotations

Talos Linux now supports configuring Kubernetes node annotations via machine configuration (.machine.nodeAnnotations) in a way similar to node labels.

Workload Apparmor Profile

Talos Linux can now apply the default AppArmor profiles to all workloads started via containerd, if the machine is installed with the AppArmor LSM enforced via the extraKernelArgs.

Eg:

machine:
    install:
        extraKernelArgs:
            - security=apparmor

Bridge Interface

Talos Linux now support configuring 'vlan_filtering' for bridge interfaces.

CNI Plugins

Talos Linux now bundles by default the following standard CNI plugins:

• bridge
• firewall
• flannel
• host-local
• loopback
• portmap

The Talos bundled Flannel manifest was simplified to remove the install-cni step.

Diagnostics

Talos Linux now shows diagnostics information for common problems related to misconfiguration via talosctl health and Talos dashboard.

Extensions in Kubernetes Nodes

Talos Linux now publishes list of installed extensions as Kubernetes node labels/annotations.

The key format is extensions.talos.dev/<name> and the value is the extension version.
If the extension name is not valid as a label key, it will be skipped.
If the extension version is a valid label value, it will be put to the label; otherwise it will be put to the annotation.

For Talos machines booted of the Image Factory artifacts, this means that the schematic ID will be published as the annotation
extensions.talos.dev/schematic (as it is longer than 63 characters).

DNS Forwarding for CoreDNS pods

Usage of the host DNS resolver as upstream for Kubernetes CoreDNS pods is now enabled by default. You can disable it
with:

machine:
  features:
    hostDNS:
      enabled: true
      forwardKubeDNSToHost: false

Please note that on running cluster you will have to kill CoreDNS pods for this change to apply.

The IP address used to forward DNS queries has changed to the fixed 169.254.116.108 address.
For those upgrading from Talos 1.7 with forwardKubeDNSToHost enabled, the old Kubernetes service
can be cleaned up with kubectl delete -n kube-system service host-dns.

Installer

Talos Linux installer now never wipes the system disk on upgrades, which means that the flag
--preserve is always set for talosctl upgrade.

talos.halt_if_installed kernel argument

Starting with Talos 1.8, ISO's generated from Boot Assets would have a new kernel argument talos.halt_if_installed which would pause the boot sequence until boot timeout if Talos is already installed on the disk.
ISO generated for pre 1.8 versions would not have this kernel argument.

This can be also explicitly enabled by setting talos.halt_if_installed=1 in kernel argument.

Slim Kubelet Image

Kubelet container image includes various utilities that kubelet might use to perform various tasks.

Starting with Kubernetes 1.31.0, kubelet image now includes less utilities, as the in-tree CSI plugins were
removed in Kubernetes 1.31.0. This reduces kubelet image size and potential attack surface.

For Kubernetes < 1.31.0, there will be two images built:

• v1.x.y (default, fat)
• v1.x.y-slim (slim)

For Kubernetes >= 1.31.0, there will be same two images built, but the
default tag would point to slim image:

• v1.x.y (default, slim)
• v1.x.y-fat (fat)

Default Node Labels

Talos Linux on config generation now adds a label node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers by default for the control plane nodes.

PCI Devices

A list of PCI devices can now be obtained via PCIDevices resource, e.g. talosctl get pcidevices.

Metal images

Starting with Talos 1.8, console=ttyS0 kernel argument is removed from the metal images and installer. If running virtualized in QEMU (For eg: Proxmox), this can be added as an extra kernel argument if needed via Image Factory or using Imager.

This should fix slow boot or no console output issues on most bare metal hardware.

NVIDIA GPU Support

Starting with Talos 1.8.0, SideroLabs would ships extensions for both LTS and Production versions of NVIDIA extensions.
For more details see the CHANGELOG of extensions.

Upgrades with an exisiting schematic id from Image Factory would keep the existing LTS version of the NVIDIA extension.

Platform Support

Talos Linux now supports Apache CloudStack platform.

kube-proxy

Talos Linux configures kube-proxy >= v1.31.0 to use 'nftables' backend by default.

Secure Boot

Talos Linux now can optionally include well-known UEFI (Microsoft) SecureBoot keys into the auto-enrollment UEFI database.

Custom Trusted Roots

Talos Linux now supports adding custom trusted roots (CA certificates) via TrustedRootsConfig configuration documents.

Device Extra Settle Timeout

Talos Linux now supports a kernel command line argument talos.device.settle_time=3m to set the device extra settle timeout to workaround issues with broken drivers.

Component Updates

Kubernetes: 1.31.0
Linux: 6.6.47
containerd: 2.0.0-rc.4
runc: 1.2.0-rc.2
etcd: 3.5.15
Flannel: 0.25.6
Flannel CNI plugin: 1.5.1
CoreDNS: 1.1.13

Talos is built with Go 1.22.6.

ZSTD Compression

Talos Linux now compresses kernel and initramfs using ZSTD.
Linux arm64 kernel is now compressed (previously it was uncompressed).

This discussion was created from the release v1.8.0-alpha.2.

Is there a simple way to modify the bundled Flannel? For instance, what if I need to use the host-gw backend?

[smira]

Use the upstream Flannel image modified to your needs, and disable Talos one.

The upstream Flannel manifest should "just work" on Talos now without any changes.

[carloscarnero]

Roger that. Now, this:

The upstream Flannel manifest should "just work" on Talos now without any changes.

means from v1.8.0 onwards, right? I can't remember correctly, but in the past I think I tried to use upstream Flannel but there were some missing binaries (I could be, as a matter of fact, wrong about this recollection.) In my particular case I wanted to use Flannel but with the host-gw backend, as vxlan did not work under vSphere.

[smira]

I can't say that any configuration of Flannel would work, but see above in the release notes:

CNI Plugins
Talos Linux now bundles by default the following standard CNI plugins:

bridge
firewall
flannel
host-local
loopback
portmap

The Talos bundled Flannel manifest was simplified to remove the install-cni step.

[carloscarnero]

Thanks a lot for your input! In fact, as soon as possible I will try to spin up a little cluster (because you guys make that so easy) with Flannel and host-gw as backend. Will report back here.
